Detailed description
Most enquiries for this item come down to three decisions made in the wrong order: grade, width, then price. Grade sets the cycle life, width sets the roll cost, and the unit price is only comparable once the first two are fixed.
What the buyer is choosing
Grade and backing are separate decisions. The same woven face is supplied plain for stitching, coated with acrylic for panels, or coated with rubber for rough and low-energy surfaces. Buying the face and the backing as one item is what produces the 'it stuck for a week then fell off' complaint.
The material question
The construction is a woven hook and loop face in the standard grade: enough hook density for a normal closure, priced for volume rather than for a five-year service life. If the application cycles more than a few thousand times, ask for the higher-density weave instead of paying twice for the same part.
How it is quoted
Widths are slit from the master roll in one millimetre steps between 10 mm and 150 mm, held to plus or minus 0.5 mm. A width that is not on the list is a slitting instruction, not a new tool, so it does not add lead time once the master exists.
What ships with the goods
Colour is checked against the retained standard under D65 on every lot, and weft skew, oil marks and hook damage are inspected across the full roll rather than on a cut sample.
Checking it on arrival
On arrival, measure the width at the core and at the outside of the roll before you cut anything. A roll that measures wide at one end and nominal at the other was slit under uneven tension, and the whole lot will behave the same way on your line.
Send the grade, width and colour with the annual volume and the quote comes back against a real construction rather than a catalogue range.
